“With these timely, must-read, letters to his students – and to us all – Gil Troy confirms his stature as a revered teacher, a leading public intellectual, and one of today’s influential Zionist thinkers,” President Isaac Herzog wrote.
Troy’s nine books on America’s presidency include “The Age of Clinton: America in the 1990s” and “Morning in America: How Ronald Reagan Invented the 1980s.” His six books on Zionism include “Moynihan’s Moment: America’s Fight Against Zionism as Racism” and “Never Alone: Prison, Politics, and My People,” co-authored with Natan Sharansky.
A popular teacher and lecturer, and a Jerusalem Post columnist, Troy is widely published in the American, Canadian, and Israeli press. He has also appeared on various documentaries, including CNN’s popular “decades” series on the Eighties, the Nineties, the 2000s, and the 2010s.
